Today, I attended Chris Uhl’s memorial service. He understood the power of questions, connection, grace, impermanence, & fallibility so well. I feel his presence in my heart so often, especially when I’m working with students, giving them permission to discover themselves in the world’s wild heart.

My wife encouraged me to audition for the stage version of “And Then There Were None.” I did.
Don’t know if I’ll be cast. But I’m gonna read it.

Climate change impacted graduation ceremonies across the U.S. last week (including my son’s). It’s surreal to hand graduates their diplomas & celebrate while the remnants of millions of trees from over a thousand miles away fill the sky, obscure the sun, & irritate people’s lungs & eyes. #NewNormal

The right-wing mediasphere has locked in generations of people who can’t tell truth from lies. By raw repetition, they have swindled millions of Americans into believing easily disprovable things. Those millions will have as hard a time accepting reality as Stalin’s did.

Truth: #solar energy is superior to fossil fuels. It’s gotten cheaper to manufacture, easier to build, works with batteries to provide base load, & can be scaled to power a home, sewer authorities, factories, & cities.
Only corrupt politicians & the fossil fuel industry are fighting this.

You know what’s always good? Spending a morning with a great colleague & climate hero Dr. Richard Alley. He’s the recipient of the National Medal of Science, co-recipient of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for his work with the IPCC, & member of the US National Academy of Sciences & the Royal Society.

I drive a 2018 BMW i3. It has a battery range of 125 miles.
Here it’s charging on a solar microgrid at work.
It’s wonderful.

Today is my son, Sacha’s 18th birthday. He’s creative, putting his all into playing in his band, INMATE, & performing in shows ranging from FUN HOME to TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD. He’s my outdoor buddy, venturing deep into Penn’s Woods, the Oregon Coast, Mount St. Helen’s. And he’s bang up in BJJ.

The announcement was put together by incompetent Trump apparatchiks who used AI to compile a list of “sanctuaries,” including wildlife, Second Amendment, LGBTQ, & God knows what others. There are whole counties that don’t even exist.

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

Today, after a long road, the State College Area School School
District signed onto the largest-by-member aggregated #solar power purchase agreement in Pennsylvania & maybe the country. As the project’s instigator & chair of its working group, I couldn’t be happier.

Today, the Director of our Career & Technical Ed program emailed me.
Our Auto Tech program received a brand new EV training aid purchased through AVI using funding from the PDE Competitive Equipment Grant.
A few years ago, this was fantasy land.
